    It'll be interesting to see how long this takes. (I'm disqualifying myself here, and I guess I'm hoping certain astute others will do the same.)

    I answered this one several months ago, so lets see if anyone else can come up with the right answer.

    Appreciate the restraint you exercised. (I was a little worried you might find the temptation irresistible! You, sir, would be the equivalent of a card counter in a casino in some of these trivia threads!)

    I was thinking it might be Sam Langford - i remember seeing a brief documentary on youtube not so long back which goes around with a distant cousin of Sam's (i think) and you see his home in that and I'm sure that it says in that that it is now protected or something??
